    Into the Wild

    Pandora loves this... because under the artificial rainbow of fluorescent pink, neon-lime and electric blue sits three wild and brash silver elephants. Bex Rox's gigantic and weighty necklace and bracelet pulls no punches. There's nothing subtle here. The chunky chains interwoven with gold balls holds three detailed silver beasts that sit looming over the Duro Olowu dress.

     

    But not to be outdone the dress is a riot of Nigerian-born Duro Olowu's signature clashing patterns; black and white polka dots, leaves and flashes of blue and green details vie for attention. Looking well travelled in an assortment of vibrant mismatched prints is a key trend this summer. The trick to the look - don't tame it. Clash print, pattern, texture and colour.

     

    Bex Rox designer Bex Manners worked as a stylist for the likes of Calvin Klein and Vogue before setting up her own jewellery line in 2006. She's known for her chunky chains interwoven with bright flashes of cord inspired by her upbringing in the Balearic Islands. After training in law, Duro Olowu switched paths to fashion and launched his London-based label in 2004. He scooped the British Fashion Council's New Designer award just a year later. His eclectic prints on contemporary cuts bring collection after collection of exuberance to fashion.

    A delicate Erdem with Burberry flare

    Pandora loves this... because this is a romanticized vision of Charlotte Bronte meets avant-garde fashion. An eclectic collision of two of London's greats sees the delicate decay of Erdem meet the brash opulence of Burberry flares in metallic purple.

     

    Erdem's creation from the SS11 collection was born out of time spent immersed in the Victoria & Albert Museum's Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929 exhibition. As if handling garments worn by Nijinsky himself wasn't inspiration enough Moralioglu's collection took its delicate and serene white influences from the calico that was preserving the costumes. The austerity of the buttoned up blouse and James Lock & Co hat is relaxed by cut outs that look as if time has been pressing on the garment, eroding it away. But before being caught up in thoughts of poetry in purple fields the lavish pre-fall Burberry flares (a trouser shape that Christopher Bailey championed before most designers) brings a luxurious flamboyance to the look.

    It's Carnival time with Prada

    Georgie loves this… because who would have thought Prada could channel a technicoloured Latin America or exotic religious festival feel from influences like hospital scrubs and the 1920s.

     

    Declaring that she was bored of minimalism Miuccia Prada turned simple yet bold silhouettes into wild hued baroque chic that's had critics in a frenzy and landed more than a stack of magazine covers. Our girl is heading for south of the border festivities with the statement stiff white shirt embroidered with cartoon like baroque monkeys and swinging bananas in cobalt blue. The form fitting skirt in hot pink and black stripes brings a sexy sophistication to the carnival with a matching pink clutch. All colour and punch, Prada has us dreaming of Tangoing into the small hours like a modern Carmen Miranda.
